  Beautiful, mature trees, gorgeous flower gardens in season, long, sandy beach, safe swimming and boat launch, great for kayak or canoeing, tennis courts (older but very usable) soccer fields, and lots of grassy areas for running about, playing frisbee and other games. There is a covered picnic area, well maintained washrooms and change rooms, as well as an eatery with outdoor tables open from late spring into September.

  A beautiful park with a sandy beach. Rented a SUP for 3 hours for only $9 there! The water was perfect.

  Some of this parks unique features are a walking laberynth, paved walking and cycling paths, outdoor gym and exercise equipment and large greenhouses filled with all of the flowers and plants being grown for Nelson's parks and public beautification along city streets. The paved areas make for easy access for persons using wheelchairs or strollers and Nelson's own Streetcar stops right outside the park gate during the summer months. The trees provide ample shade in summer, with gentle breezes off the lake on hot days.

  This park was amazing. There's lots of shade, easy beach access, a huge playground, a trolly and a lovely snack concession. We went with our toddler and it was the perfect place to stop and have some fun. Parking was free and plentiful when we arrived for a train ride. Upon arriving back at the park we had some food and enjoyed ourselves.

  Great for kids! Top notch play ground. Wood chips not great. Sandy beach great swimming. Boat launch nearby. Parking is a challenge. Concession open summer only.

  It also has one of the best kids playground in the Kootenays! Well designed, safe for all ages, climbing and play structures that are usually quite busy with kids and lots of benches and picnic tables for the adults to watch and supervise.
